Did you know that...

...Your organization has to comply with both physical and digital accessibility standards? Well, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) has established a list of incremental standards, and it is easy to get lost in it, particularly when it comes to parameters around digital accessibility.

Come and join Mike Gifford and Marc Lijour over lunch to learn about web accessibility standards and what you should do to make your applications accessible. They will present the standards and will show simple tools that allow you to do a high-level evaluation of your applications’ accessibility level. This will also be an opportunity to learn more about Drupal, the most accessible Web Content Management System (WCMS) out-of-the-box.
